The Human Brain: Beauty Or Beast?

"It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly." - Anatole France

SUMMARY

  • Despite rapid advances in technology, the human brain remains far more superior to even the most powerful supercomputer.
  • However, our brains have deficiencies that often lead to irrational and/or sub-optimal decisions.
  • Some of these biases or tendencies are related to social fears and pressures. Others are a function of how humans evolved over the eons. These can lead to reactions or emotions that were appropriate in pre-historic times but are often counter-productive today . . .
